Anchor thingy could be?

i've seen a few of these included in batches of Civil War finds. I am thinking they are part of early telegraph insulators. Search early Civil War insulators in Google images and see what you think. I believe these sat in a wooden base.

Very good condition. My first eagle I wasnt that nice. I think I have read accounts of Private Sneezy or Private Dopey losing their pick axe. Lol

This is why I love this hobby. For some of us our heart gets racing when we find a piece of history like a military button or C.S.A buckle. For others they get that feeling when they find the silver Barber half or $1 gold coin. And yet others are excited when they pluck a silver ring or gold wedding band from the soil. The items may be different, but the thrill is the same. It's the thing that makes picking through all the trash to find the treasure worth it.
